About CF-Auto-Root:

CF-Root is the root for “rooting beginners” and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root. A modified recovery and cache partition will be flashed, which will install (only) SuperSU, then clean-up the cache partition and re-flash the stock recovery.

NOTE: Using this root increases your flash counter. You should run Triangle Away after rooting to reset the counter. Note that if you want to run custom kernels or custom recoveries, your flash counter will be set to 1 at every boot. Either configure Triangle Away to reset the counter at every boot (Play version only) or only reset the counter when you need to go into warranty.

Make sure you have installed all your USB drivers for the Samsung Galaxy S III to connect it with the computer. Download Samsung Samsung Galaxy S3 USB drivers! Apart from just the USB drivers, there are a few more things that you need to take care of.

Data can also be backed up using Samsung KIES for their devices, but if you backup data manually, you get more options what top choose from and it is very easy to move data across Android devices from different manufacturers, i.e moving Samsung Galaxy Note backup data to HTC One X.

4. Your phone should be factory unlocked. Additional instructions for locked Android devices will be added in the tutorial for unlocking devices.

We have put together a detailed step-by-step instructions guide for how to root Android 4.1.1 on Galaxy S3 SHV-E210K. If you are used to installing official updates through ODIN on Samsung Galaxy devices, then this should not be any different for you.

Please read every line carefully and make sure you read the tutorial once before actually performing it on your Android device.

To Remember:

This root method tutorial is only for Galaxy S3 SHV-E210K (Samsung). Please do not try on any other Galaxy S III variants.

Make sure you backup all your data in your phone before proceeding as a precaution.

This root method works for both, Android 4.0.4 ICS and Android 4.1.1 JB.

Your Galaxy S3 should be on an official firmware by Samsung, not a custom ROM.

Step 2 –Download ODIN v1.85 which will help you to root Android 4.1.1 on Samsung Samsung Galaxy S3 SHV-E210K.

Step 3 – Switch OFF your phone. Now go to Download Mode. How? Press and hold the Volume Down + Home buttons together, and then press the Power button till you see the construction Android robot and a triangle. Press Power again to confirm to enter into Download Mode.

I followed the procedure to root my SHV-E210K S3 and I think it is successful because I have a superSU but my problem is that after boot the phone it says “SUPERSU stopped” and there is a security notification saying:

An attempt to gain unauthorized access to a secure area of ​​your machine has been blocked.

Samsung is continuously working to improve the security policy of your device. Verify that your device is protected by setting the security policy to date with the latest proposed version of Samsung.

I’m stuck here! could you help me?

Thank you!
